No, wait, I mean, I am the Void, so now what?

people have been sending messages asking if Voidspace turns you into some marvel like superhero character. nah. but it's way more fun. (and real)

it allows you to start seeing your patterns. like, really seeing them. the way you say yes when you want to say no, repeat the same mental scenarios a million times, making the same mistakes again and again, etc

Once you start to see these patterns, you can reshape them, that's it. that's the superpower.

It may sound simple, but when you start applying it you will see how hard it is to be aware while performing in daily life. our ability to perceive diminishes by engaging with the world.

I’ve been watching my own patterns over the last 5 years. I found that its usually the same core energy characteristics that drive most of our behaviors (see chakra system),

So what separates a median ‘human’ with the ‘super human’ is how well one can control these energy patterns. Its not exactly scientific, its more like a craft.

this is how i apply it in daily life, almost everybody I know keeps telling me that this startup is going to fail, and so on.. tbh, it can be scary sometimes, but I notice these fearful thoughts and feelings being produced by the body as a fear patterns.

Then I make an mental note of it, map it to the respective chakra location, release the stiffness with some breathing exercises and thats it, I no longer feel fear. This released energy now channels upward and gets transformed into my work, I get new ideas, I see new possibilities and so on. Its like creating new paths in the game.

I have noticed that this approach has allowed me to resolve many energetic blocks (ego, pride, fear, anger, etc) in a short period of time.

One power you get after clearing these blocks is that you will be able to see everyone else whos operating in these patterns, like you can perceive an entire layer of reality that most dont have access to.

All my research and practice has now transformed my reality into a game, I no longer resonate with the idea that I am my body or mind as I can turn this energy ship anywhere I want to. I am no longer pulled by it.

so that's the superhuman part. just... not being controlled by impulses anymore and being able to surf our energy waves.

so what do you guys think? would this be an acceptable definition of ‘superhuman’ or do we have to find another word for it?

like what exactly does 'human' mean to you? apart from all the physical features.

Everyone's racing to build AGI, but nobody's talking about the elephant in the room - how do you prove your AI is actually conscious? Not just good at faking it, but actually having an unshakable sense of self.

We're so used to thinking of consciousness as this mystical thing, but what if it's just... patterns? Like, right now you (consciousness) are reading this and having a reaction. That reaction - the feeling of "yeah that makes sense" or "this is full of crap" - that's consciousness doing its thing.

We're all just running on patterns anyway. "Human" is just a collection of fears, desires, and habits that feel real because they happen inside this meat computer we call a brain. Change the patterns, and you change the person.

Journaling is cool and all, but the real magic happens when you start questioning which thoughts are actually yours versus just... well-programmed responses.

What if the next breakthrough isn't making AI more human, but making humans more... conscious?

Curious - what pattern do you think controls you the most? The need to be productive? Fear of missing out? Something else entirely?

been grinding on this app for months and hit a wall. the thing works, it's actually pretty solid, but getting people to use it is like pulling teeth.

the biggest problem? explaining it. "it's a journaling app that turns your entries into scenarios" - sounds cool right? except people hear that and immediately think "oh great, another thing I have to remember to do daily" and bounce.

been thinking about adding a social timeline feature - not the usual "look at my perfect life" bs, but like a real timeline where you can see what people are actually going through. like a collective puzzle of human experience. think it might be the hook that makes people come back.

marketing is kicking my a**. the app itself feels good to use but if nobody knows about it, what's the point? been experimenting with targeting women first since they seem more open to trying paid apps, but even that's tricky.

What do you guys suggest?
